So you've already paid the fees for this and now you're changing your

Why, then, did you sign up for the Oracle DBA coursework? I'm
confused, now.

Which market are you considering? In the U.S. you could go either way
and, most likely, find work (even for a beginner), however you did not
specify which 'market recommendations' interest you. And you haven't
mentioned which product interests you more. Possibly you should
investigate this yourself and make your own choices.

That's really an issue for YOU to decide.

I think you should do Db2.

David and Mladen both have good points: why sign-up for the course if
you are unsure what you want to do? In the US most employers will not
hire an entry level DBA unless the individual is an experienced
programmer for the database in question or is an experienced DBA for a
different database product.
What market are you looking at?

I've noticed a few posts here and there by Oracle DBA's who have gone
to SQL Server conferences, and they seem to think the SS folk are
heavily into myths and legends as Oracle folk were about a decade and
a half ago. Seeing these posts reinforces my own bias, I've felt the
same thing.
For the vast majority of sites that use SS, not much really needs to
be done, partly because it is simpler, partly because it doesn't have
the instrumentation to find out what is really wrong. I know one
fellow who is an SS dba among many Oracle dba's, and he has to deal
with many more db's. But he can. Oracle databases tend to be larger
and more complex, with more knobs to twiddle.
Personally, I stay away from things where I have to compete with high
school kids or cheap remote labor. If you happen to be in a place
that provides cheap remote labor, then there is a mileu which may be
suitable for you, but there won't be any top-end jobs. But you can
get your foot in the door. If you are in the US or other major
market, you have to make the decision as to whether you want to part
of a mass of averageness, or have the opportunity for greatness.
Either way, get a few years of development under your belt first.
There's an advantage to having both, too.

In general if you only goal is to make the most money then the Oracle
DBA work pays much better.
That's assuming that you can land and keep a job as an Oracle DBA
which may be an optimistic assumption.
Experience not training and/or certificates counts the most in
actually getting a job working as an Oracle DBA.
English might also be a course worth considering.

Please don't top post in this group (that means, put your response
below what you are responding to).
See http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html
For learning Oracle, the best way is to start with the concepts manual
at http://tahiti.oracle.com then move on to Tom Kyte's books. Trying
things out on your own installation all the while.
For studying for the exams, there are several books available, I won't
comment on them except to say my experience may be out of date, but I
found using two books and their associated legitimate online practice
exams is a lot better than just one, since they all have idiosyncratic
limitations. Also note the 2-day series of books available free
online from Oracle.
Having exams/certification without experience is pretty useless in the
real world. The exams are also much easier with experience. Also see

Maybe at your shop. I plan on being on extended life support for the
next 20 years thank you very much.
You can always tell a SQL server DBA the first thing they want to do
is create a bunch of temporary tables for processing you can do
directly in one SQL statement.

Undead would better describe the situation. Before the night is through,
I want to do bad things....
